Talking about movies I've seen this year, here's a good one that didn't make the Top Ten (mostly because I forgot it): Spanglish (2004).

The journey of Flor (Paz Vega) seeking a better life for her and her daughter, from Mexico to LA, is something many people can relate to. She finds a job as a housekeeper for a wealthy family, and struggles with the language barrier.

Flor does not speak English. At first, the only way she has to communicate with her employers is trough her bilingual daughter. She slowly starts learning the language, when she's forced to live with the Clasky's during the summer.

What's most interesting in this movie is the portrait of different lifestyles, cultures and values. You can see what happens when two very unlike worlds collide, and what people can learn from such collision.
